An Austrian court today sentenced Gunther Kuemel, a Vienna student, to 10 months imprisonment, for fatally injuring a 67-year-old former concentration camp inmate during a demonstration last March against Taras Borodajkewicz, a Vienna University professor who publicly admitted being a Nazi. The victim, Ernst Kirchweger, died after being injured in a fist-fight with Kuemel.
